WinNuke represents a new generation of Windows platform DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. Just by entering in a users IP, you can cause Windows 95 and Windows NT to panic, and cause the user to reboot the machine. WinNuke was written by _eci, and information was posted on BugTraq May 10th, along with the source code. Although originally written to be used with Unix, it works quite nicely in Macintosh, Windows95, and Windows NT.
